For just $20 per month, you can get unlimited calls and texts, as well as $10 per gigabyte of data. You have an even more appealing purchase if you factor in its excellent global roaming, nationwide coverage, and billing feature that credits back whatever data you don't use. Fi works with almost any unlocked phone, but certain features, like intelligent network switching, are only available for certain phones with Fi software. The best phone for the price is the Google Pixel 6 Pro, which has improved cameras, a custom chipset, and great 5G support.

The smart network switch feature is intact and the Pixel 6 Pro is the ultimate partner for an unlimited Google Fi plan. If you upgrade to one of the best wi-fi 6e routers, you can get full gigabit internet speed on your phone.

The components that were off-the-shelf for the Pixel were replaced with the own Google Tensor chipset. Even though the phone has a large 120Hz display, the processor and graphics card package kept it running smoothly. The Material You design of the phone gives it a unique and modern appearance. You will always have the most up-to-date features on your device if you choose to use the Pixels.

There is a camera bar around the back of the phone. The hardware needed for a 50MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, and 48MP telephoto camera is provided by a 50MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, and 48MP telephoto camera. The new Tensor chip can be used to produce sharp and colorful photos in nearly any lighting condition. A challenge for cameras dating back to film is delivering accurate skin tones.

For a long time, the excellent S22 Ultra is fully compatible with the network of Google Fi. The device is even more useful thanks to the included S Pen, as we saw in our review. The Designed for Fi designation means that this is the ultimate phone and it works on the entire network. You can use an eSIM on Fi to set it up.

The cameras on the back are some of the best available with great colors and sharpness on the main camera with two more cameras for optical zoom and an ultra-wide camera so you are ready for any situation. Out of the box, this phone supports 5G, as well as C-band and wi-fi 6E.

One of the strengths of the S22 line is its plans for software updates. This phone will be upgraded to a newer version of the operating system with five years of security updates. The initial investment on this flagship phone is high, but you can rest assured that you will be able to keep using it for years to come.

When you consider the price, the camera performance on the Google Pixel 5a is surprisingly good. The phone is powered by a competent processor. 5G support is included and works great. A hole-punch camera on the front of this phone is what makes it unique. The battery inside the phone can keep it running all day long, and our review found it could last two days per charge.

The main camera has a 12.2MP shooter that kicks out some great results thanks to the processing of the internet. The photos look great next to the expensive phones. This all comes in a pocket-sized device.

The latest version of the phone's operating system is the one that runs on the phone. One of the cheapest ways to stay on the cutting edge is with this phone. Whether you want a great phone to travel with or want something that will deliver great photos for social media, the Pixel 5a is a great choice. Until the new Pixel 6a arrives to compete with it.

The large screen of the Pixel 6 Pro may not be suitable for everyone. You can still get the latest version of the Pixel with the same great processor. The display is down to 90Hz, but it should still feel smooth with the new design behind it. The battery size is lower at 4614mAh, but you should still be able to make it through the day.

The camera system is one of the best on any phone. The main 50MP sensor is the only thing this model has, but our review shows you can get some stunning photos with the new processor and camera app. The software makes it hard to take a bad photo, even from the raw numbers.

The phone has a new Material You design. The colorful design of thePixel 6 line compliment the software that makes it feel more personal. You can be on the cutting edge of new features when you are first in line for an update.

One of the best mid-range phones money can buy is the SAMSUNG GALAXY A53 5G, which has a beautiful AMOLED display, a large battery, 5G support, and enough power to handle the majority of apps with ease. This phone has a 5,000mAh battery which can be used for a long time. The phone can be charged at 25 watt, but you have to provide your own brick.

The cameras produce nice and sharp images with plenty of contrast for social media and sharing with friends, as we saw in our review. Not much is similar to the S22 series. If you get stuck in the rain, you don't need to sweat because you have water and dust resistance.

The software support of this phone is amazing. You can be sure that you will be up to date for years to come with the four major updates promised by the company. For phones in this price range and even compared to some flagship phones, the promised updates are second to none.

The A13 5G is a budget phone that has a large 6.5-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate. This phone has enough power to handle day-to-day takes with sub-9 5G built in, so you can use T-Mobile's vast 5G coverage through Google Fi. You can be sure that you are on the best connection possible if you use it.

The phone has three cameras on the back, a 50MP main camera, a 2MP wide-angle camera, and a 2MP depth camera. You can take a lot of photos with 64 gigabytes of storage onboard and a microSD card slot. The battery should last you all day with a 5,000mAh power pack that can charge at 15 watt.

This phone was launched with the new operating system, so you won't be stuck with an old system for too long. Two updates don't meet the standard of more expensive phones, but it's reasonable. The phone will get four years of security updates.

Use your Google Fi plan to its fullest

If you want to get the most out of your Fi service, you should get a phone that has been designed for it and has the necessary software to switch to the network with the best signal no matter where you are. You can use any of the best phones on the T-Mobile network, but you may not get the same coverage as other phones.

The best cameras on any phone and 5G support are included in the features of the Google Pixel 6 Pro, which is the ultimate Google Fi phone. The phone has an ultra-smooth 120Hz display, and you can rest assured that the latest version of the software will be kept up to date as soon as it is ready.
